After finishing the grilled fish, their stomachs were full. Ren Feng sat together, gazing at the night sea.

The waves, shimmering with silver light, crashed onto the shore one after another, accompanied by the cool sea breeze, causing Xia Wenxue's mood to dip slightly.

She thought of her parents again.

Resting her head on Ren Feng's shoulder, Xia Wenxue seemed somewhat lost in thought.

Ren Feng hugged Xia Wenxue, letting the True Qi circulate, making her feel all warm and cozy.

Neither of them spoke.

"When I was young, I was like this with my father as well," Xia Wenxue said softly, her eyes still fixed on the nearby ocean.

Ren Feng looked at her, quietly listening.

"When I was little, my father was very good to me. He always liked to carry me on his shoulders, and then hold my hand. Whenever I made mistakes, he never scolded me; instead, he always asked if I was hurt first."

Xia Wenxue's eyes were somewhat lost, "My mom was very good to me too. Her smile was beautiful, with two dimples, just like her name, Tang Jiujiu."

Xia Wenxue searched her body and unexpectedly pulled out the jade pendant given by Song Ziwen from her pocket.

"This is my mother's jade pendant."

Ren Feng took a glance; the character "Jiu" was engraved beautifully.

"When I was little, that time my dad and mom took me to the antique market for fun." Xia Wenxue leaned closer to Ren Feng, her face full of distant memories.

"Then, holding my dad and mom's hands, I entered a shop that made jade pendants. I had them make one for each of us. Mine had the character 'Xue', my dad's had 'Mountain', and my mom's had 'Jiu'.

"But they both left when I was ten. I can never forget that scene where my dad crouched down to talk to me. He said, 'Wenxue, be good, okay? Mom and Dad will be back soon.'"

At this point, tears appeared in Xia Wenxue's eyes again.

Ren Feng gently wiped Xia Wenxue's tears.

"But until now, my parents haven't returned. I asked my grandfather, and he said a foreign company invited my parents to research a certain drug, a drug that could solve mankind's medical problems, so they had to go."

"But once they left, they never came back. Until three years ago, my dad rushed back suddenly, found my grandfather, and handed him something, saying, 'This must not fall into others' hands.'"

Ren Feng listened quietly.

"I happened to hear this while standing outside the door, but I ran away. I was a bit angry with him for not coming to see me for so long, surely he came to see me, but he didn't, and left in a hurry again."

Xia Wenxue's tears fell again.

"I regret being angry at that time," Xia Wenxue cried.

Ren Feng couldn't console her either, only lightly patting her back.

"Then I went to ask my grandfather, but he refused to say anything, so I memorized the thing when he wasn't paying attention."

"Is it a formula?" Ren Feng asked softly.

"Yes, then I went to the United States, hoping to find my parents, but unexpectedly met Song Ziwen. After returning, I started my own company, trying to uncover the secret of this formula, and through this secret, find my parents."

Xia Wenxue said softly, now curled up in Ren Feng's embrace.

"Don't worry, Xue'xue, I will help you find your parents." There was a firm determination in Ren Feng's eyes.

Xia Wenxue lay in Ren Feng's embrace, saying nothing, only the soft sound of her sobs.

Behind the appearance of the ice-cold CEO, she was just a fragile girl searching for her parents.

Ren Feng didn't speak either, only lightly patting Xia Wenxue's back to make her feel a bit better.

After a while, Xia Wenxue's emotions finally calmed down.

Listening to Ren Feng's heartbeat, she asked softly, "Ren Feng, can you tell me your story?"

Ren Feng was silent for a moment, gazing out at the sea; his eyes also slightly dimmed.

"From my earliest memories, I didn't know where my parents were. I grew up with an old man, who seemed to know everything, and he taught me many things, all kinds of things, including medicine, assassination, cooking, and various languages, some of which I wanted to learn, some I didn't."

"I stayed by his side for over ten years. Once, I asked about my parents, and the old man said you're not at the level to know yet, and his tone was very serious, unlike his usual carefree demeanor, so I never asked again."

"Over the years, the old man never said anything, and later he told me to venture out alone. So, I left Huaxia on a smuggling ship, heading to Europe, with two other people on the ship."

Ren Feng smiled slightly, "One was called Chen Fenghuo, and the other had no name, I always called him Ah Xiu, his nickname was White-clothed Asura."

Xia Wenxue listened quietly, realizing at this moment the extraordinary story of the man before her.

"We went to Europe, you know, life was tough for stowaways. It just happened that Spanish police were checking people, so the three of us started a struggle for survival. From initially joining a gang to evade the police to later walking the path of mercenaries, over the years, I don't even know how I survived."

Ren Feng's tone was very calm, as if recounting an unrelated matter, but this made Xia Wenxue feel even more pain for him.

"Later, we met several other people and formed a mercenary corps together. My skills gradually improved, and now I have some reputation," Ren Feng said softly, "and then I received a mission with a specific name."

Ren Feng gently stroked Xia Wenxue's hair: "To return to Huaxia and protect the female CEO of the Flying Snow Group."

"Then will you go back?"

Xia Wenxue lifted her head from Ren Feng's embrace, looking at him.

Ren Feng also looked at Xia Wenxue, smiling slightly: "I'm tired of life abroad, besides, I already have you."

"Don't worry, my beautiful CEO, I won't go back. From now on, I'll stay in Huaxia." Ren Feng hugged Xia Wenxue.

"Yes, I want to be with you for a lifetime; we'll never be apart," Xia Wenxue embraced Ren Feng.

She closed her eyes, listening to Ren Feng's heartbeat, softly saying, "If you don't abandon me, I'll never want to leave you."

Ren Feng hugged Xia Wenxue tighter.

"Okay, we will never be apart," Ren Feng said softly, "I won't leave you."

Xia Wenxue softly acknowledged before remaining still.

Looking down, Xia Wenxue was quietly asleep in his embrace.
